SCARF-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 236,874, dated January 25, 1881.

To all whom it mag concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN F. BROWN, of the city and county of Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Scarf-Rings and I hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

The object of this invention is to so construct a scarf-ring that the same will be retained in place and secure the scarf.

The invention consists in the peculiar and novel construction of the scarf-ring, by which the same can be readily secured to or form part of the collar-button, as will be more fully 'set forth hereinafter.

Figure l is a perspective view of a scarfring in which the back plate is hinged to the front and provided with a snap, so that thefront can be raised and passed over the scarf. The rear plate is provided with a suitable slot, so that the scarf-ring can be secured to the collar-button. Fig. 2 is a view of a scarf-ring, to the back plate of which one part of a separable button is secured, the shoe of the button ed by a slot from a collar-button.

The essential feature of the invention consists in connecting a scarf -ring and collarbutton so that the button will hold the scarfring in its proper place.

In the drawings, a is the front portion of a scarf-ring b, the rear-portion. The two may Application filed June 5, 1880. (No model.)

beformed in one piece, or they maybe hinged and secured by any desired means, Figs. 1 and 2 showing the ring so hinged to the back plate, and the other -figures showing solid rings.

0 represents the collarbutton, which, as shown in Figs. 1 and 6, may be entered into any suitable slot made in the rear plate, I), of the scarf-ring, so that the ring is suspended from the button.

d is the shank of a button, and may be provided with any suitabl device, so as to form a separable button, \vhic can be readily connected with or disconnected from the shoe 6; or the ring, shank, and shoe may be permanently secured, as shown in Fig. 4.

The shank 01 may be secured to any part of the back plate, or the extension f (shown in Fig. 6) may extend in any directlon desired, and may be provided with a slot, as shown in broken lines in that figure, or have the shank, or, if desired, the shank and shoe, secured to the extension f.

A scarf-ring forming part of a separable or other collar-button, or arranged so that it can be readily secured to the button, forms a convenient and desirable device or ornament.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, with a scarf-ring, of a collar-button constructed to hold the scarfring in place, as described.

2. The combination, with the scarf-ring, of the shank d and shoe 0, constructed to secure the scarf-ring to the collar, as described.
